I mean, if you manage to get good discounts and have spare room, I guess go ahead.
I’d rather not pay for mass amounts of storage for what is usually a comparatively small saving on bulk purchases

What a privilege it is to live in walking distance to a supermarket - this problem doesn’t even exist for me, being out of something just means I walk 4 minutes and buy it.

I feel like this might be an American problem, with straws being more necessary for drinking in cars, which are all too common there.
I rarely drive and basically never drink out of a straw, there’s just no point when you can drink directly out of the cup.

- Comment on Insuranace is a joke 2 weeks ago:
Definitely. The business model for basically all of the insurance industry - denying as many claims as possible directly contributing to the margin of the company - is fundamentally broken. A real pity on account of how good and beautiful the core idea of insurance is.
- Comment on Insuranace is a joke 2 weeks ago:
If your car got hit, then I’m guessing you’re dealing with the other drivers liability insurance, right?
I can’t speak for how the legal system where you are works, but I would hold the other driver liable for every single cent, involving a lawyer if necessary.

- Comment on Why are fruits and berries healthy, even though they are mostly just sugar? 3 weeks ago:
The dose makes the poison, really. It’s quite hard to reach a harmful amount of sugar by just eating fruit - you’re likely to get either full or bored with eating fruit before you start reaching unhealthy levels of sugar. Combine this with fruits and berries generally being a good source of dietary fiber, this makes for a good combination of attributes you want in healthy food.

No, I’m talking about where the urine hits the toilet. If it hits a part that doesn’t get washed by the flush, the urine dries out there and smells.
- Comment on Hmm this "unisex" bathroom seems biased... 1 month ago:
- Cleaner for your penis: sitting down eliminates the last drops remaining that are common when standing up
- Cleaner for the bathroom: zero risk foreskin messing up your aim and having pee hit areas that don’t get washed by the flush
- Better urine elimination for men that have prostate issues or lower urinary tract symptoms. I don’t, but it’s a factor
- More chill to sit down and check your phone while in the bathroom
- Comment on For people who relocated: when did you realize you want to live in the new place long-term & why? 1 month ago:
I knew I felt completely done with the town I grew up in at the point where I graduated high school. Through some funny circumstances, I then spent an additional 3 years there attending University.
Then I moved to the biggest city in our country in search of better job prospects. It was mostly about the availability of jobs at that point, I didn’t have a specific desire to move to this particular city for any other reasons, as I didn’t really know how it would be to live in a different city. I figured I could always move back - or to another place - if things didn’t work out.
I have never looked back, as I learned that I really enjoy living in larger cities over smaller more car-dependent ones. I miss nothing from my old city, except maybe vicinity to my parents, which was never something I valued particularly highly anyway.

So quite literally worse than a coin flip, then.
Streaming lossless audio will use up three to six times as much data, along with the higher processing demands to play them back, so there’s always a penalty involved. We didn’t invent codecs for no reason.

Based on the vibes of every internet comment field, literally everyone and their mother wants to stream lossless.
You’re right about the audible benefits however

I assume you’re implying racism. There’s absolutely latent racism in there as well. But even if you look like a Swede, speak swedish, but have an accent or dress in a way that stands out or break some of the other tenants of jantelagen people will steer away. People of non-european descent just have it 10x harder.
I wasn’t primarily implying racism, but it’s probably part of the equation. I was moreso thinking about other forces mentioned in my reply, like the very large issue of complete housing market malfunction.

I get the feeling that this might be a more rural attribute, but that might be my personal experience just being different.
I wasn’t saying it was completely intentional, I was saying it was part of the insular nature of Swedes. If you’re talking about kommun housing then I agree, that’s procedural, but it does require someone who knows the process. But if you want to rent second-hand, you need to meet that person and if you’re not a Swede many people will require a Swede to vouch for you.
I think this is just another aspect of the housing crisis being the everything crisis - there’s no real need for second hand renting in a paradigm of complete housing abundance, as we had at the end of Miljonprogrammet.

Alcohol is taxed significantly in bars and outside.
A beer in the alcohol monopoly store - the only place that can legally sell alcohol surpassing 3.5% ABV - starts at about 10 SEK, approximately 1 EUR/USD.
A beer in a bar starts at perhaps 40 SEK, if you go to a really cheap place. Upscale places charge higher prices accordingly, with prices around 100 SEK not being uncommon.
To cope with the prices, a culture of pre-gaming has evolved in Sweden, so that you don’t have to break the bank once you’re out drinking.

Sweden took in more refugees than it had infrastructure to help integrate with.
To be clear, this was a choice. The amount of disinvestment since the 80s in social housing, schooling and other social programs has been truly remarkable.
Swedes are culturally insular so when there were friction points the Swedish reaction is pull back. This leads to isolation.
This is largely bullshit in my experience - people use it as a convenient explanation for what can adequately be explained by other forces
This leads to isolation. That lead to ghettos and a perfect breading ground for crime and gangs.
There’s no intentional isolation on the part of immigrants as much as there’s a diminishing social housing stock/social housing being sold out to slumlords.
People don’t intentionally select high crime areas to live in - they are not given the option to live somewhere else.
Because of Swedens laws protecting minors the gangs have figured out that paying them for hits on rivals and their families had little penalty. This started in Denmark as their testing ground.
Using kids for gang hits is common in other places as well, because kids get more lenient sentences in other places too. See the U.S for an example on this trend being present earlier in history.
